Kava head concerned about long term effects

[Edward]

With micro you are ingesting the whole root (less the makas if whoever made it removed it which most do) so you're bound to get a bit more effect. I don't find it irritates my stomach as much as normal sediment does though. I use micro less and less these days as I have so much med grind around but it's always handy to have around in case you're short of time and fancy a shell.

I have been drinking about 16 teaspoons of Kalm micronized kava for the past several months which is 5 times the recommended dose. I have found that it is the only thing that helps me to sleep and reduce anxiety levels. My dermopathy is moderate, but I can live with it. Is there anyone on this board who has consumed large quantities of kava for a while and who has noticed any other side effects besides dry skin? If so, could you share how much you drink and what side effects it has caused? Thanks in advance.

Just be sure to drink a lot of water and exercise to sweat it out

What happens if one doesnt do either of these?

Thats just my Kava routine. Been drinking Kava my whole life and haven't had any issues with Dermo. That was just general knowledge I learned growing up around Kava.

Drinking water seems to be the key. I've never had dermo and I can drink 10-12 shells nightly sometimes.

Have been drinking Kava for around a year now. Daily. Had bloodwork done not too long back and everything was great. I have lost 20 lb's. The stress and anxiety have melted away. And, I think it's this reduction in stress that will actually help me to live longer. At least happier while we are here. I will be drinking Kava till my last.

Good point. Kava suppresses my appetite, so if it helps me to lose weight, it will be healthy in that aspect.

i have yet to get my kava in the mail for a 1st time experience but was wondering about exercise and kava. what is your routine when you have kava and a workout session on the same day? i mostly do cardio and bodyweight exercises.
